Heartbreaking and emotional tale of second chances and never giving up on true love. Circumstances kept Jackson and Allie apart, taking them from a high school romance to avoidance in their small town. Can the past hurt be overcome? Can you truly find love again after denying yourself for so long. K.L. Grayson takes the reader on a journey that at some points will make you laugh and at other points will leave you breathless and in tears. With wonderful characters and a true and honest romance this was an awesome read that I highly recommend.

I have been waiting for Stay with Me to release for what seems like forever! It combines some of my favorite romance tropes, specifically single parents and musicians. KL Grayson did a phenomenal job of creating a group of characters that you can't help but fall in love with!
Allie and Jackson were looking forward to spending their lives together, but tragedy had them separate. Eight years later, they find themselves living in the same town again. Allie is now a single mom, trying to make ends meet, while Jackson has had his own difficulty and the band that had brought him success is no more. These two can't help but to come back together since they were meant to be.
I loved Allie and Jackson. And I loved Mason! He brought so much to the story and helped facilitate Allie's and Jackson's reunion. KL Grayson has writtten a wonderful story! I look forward to more!

This book is a beautiful and heartbreaking second chance romance. It is packed full of emotions and will punch you right in the gut.
Jackson and Allie fell in love as children and once tragedy struck their relationship changed forever, or so they thought. Eight years later, Jackson has returned home and Allie is nearly divorced. So what happens when these two reconnect?
Jackson is sweet, he is kind, and he has experienced so much loss in his life. He was pushed away by the one girl he loves more than anything, he experienced fame and fortune. But once again, tragedy struck his life and he realized it’s not what he wants in his life. He heads back to Bear Creek to start a life away for the fame. Allie is a single mother and after her divorce moved back to Bear Creek. She has taken over the inn her mother owns. When she finds out that Jackson has returned home and when they run into each other they both realize that there is still something between the two of them.
This story grabbed a hold of my emotions right from the start. Jackson and Allie’s past will break your heart, but their future will put it back together again. It is a beautifully written story and everything you could ever want in a second change romance. This story deserves more than 5 stars and is one that I would highly recommend to anyone.

I’ve once again taken a chance on a new-to-me author and I’m not at all complaining. This second chance romance is beautifully heartbreaking. It’s packed with an emotional punch that’ll hit you with all the feelings.
Allie and Jackson have loved each other since at a young age. After a little hiccup, they were on their way to feeling endless joy. But tragedy struck, and their relationship was changed forever. Eight years later, Jackson returns home to Bear Creek and is bombarded with memories of what once was and with possibilities of what could have been. And the one constant was and is still is, Allie.
After years of being apart, it’s no denying that the spark that Allie and Jackson had is still there. When they see each other again after so many years, it’s evident that all those feelings they felt for one another are still there. They’ve both been through a lot and both have learned a great deal about themselves. They’re at a different point in their lives, but no matter what, they’ll always be linked. And it leads to question, can they once again be happy together?
Stay with Me hit me with the emotions from the start. From the beginning, Allie and Jackson’s story broke my heart, but by the end my heart was put back together. This second chance romance delivers on the romance, has lovable characters and will take you on a beautifully heartfelt journey.

Stay With Me is a beautiful second chance romance. There is minimal angst and even with that K.L. Grayson portrayed the pain, loss and love of Allie and Jackson beautifully.
4 Stars!

Second chance romance.
I love second chance romance but the reason for the breakup can either really work or not.
Spoilers below.
This is an interesting one as they lost a baby, late in her pregnancy, split up over grief, they were very young, when they meet up after 8 years she is divorced with a son from her ex.
They get together quite quickly.
Cute kid.
Ex drama on the heroines side.
I liked that obviously the heroine was married previously but the Hero obviously moved on as well, but his dating/relationship history is vague.
From a few comments made he obviously was involved with other women but there are no details.
This is unique esp considering he was famous in the music industry.
No cheating.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
Breadcrumbs dropped for future books in series.
HEA.
